What does the kselftests config file do? I was about to complain that this would break compiling on non-x86 platforms, but 'make kselftest' and other forms of invoking the build work fine on aarch64 even with this config file. So is this just for documentation? If so, then its still obviously wrong for non-x86 platforms. The only config that makes sense here is KVM. If the other options need to be documented for x86, then should they get an additional config file? tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/config?
My understanding is that a config file fragment requires some kind of kconfig invocation to create a full .config file. When you do that, unknown configurations are dropped silently.
You are right on this point. As you said, unknown configs getting dropped for arm64 cross compilation.
